Kelly,Charlie et al,
This is getting confusing but probably only to me.
First up the EMI releases were first,remastered in 1992-94 as you state Kelly by Doug Sax.
In 1997 Columbia (not EMI)released 30th Anniversary editions of some Floyd albums-DSOM was not included for some reason but these included the statement "Digitally remastered under the bands supervision"-however on my copy of WYWH it says remastered by Doug Sax(doesn't give a date!).
Were these stickers misleading and actually only the packaging changed?
What complicates it for me is that both '97 versions of The Wall and WYWH sounded better to me than the '92 versions that I already had....you could for instance detect the ambient sounds at the start of both albums sooner than on the '92 versions....I guess they could just have mastered the '97 versions that bit louder.
I no longer have the 92 versions but I believed my ears at the time.
I'm off to a Floyd newsgroup to see if they can shed some light on this........
Any ideas here on Audiogon,are we just getting the same remasters constantly repackaged?
Ben
